fat loss system, brought to you by provida life sciences. a team that shares my drive and commitment. that's why i serve in the united states coast guard. maybe you were born ready. find out at gocoastguard.com.

on that and say it's already here. so the idea that we should wait for the science to get better, i think, is just, it's too late for that. so the cat is already out of the bag. the question is what do you do now that it's in the courtroom. well, we have dualing experts. we have judges sitting in a gate keeping role who have to decide whether or not the evidence should be admissible and whether it should be permitted in a case. my view is that the more evidence that we can provide to a scrr or to a judge -- jury or to a judge in their decision makings, some objective evidence, some evidence to bolster things like a diagnosis of schizophrenia or i.q., all the better. at the same time we need the critics in the courtroom explaining the shortcomings of the science so that we don't have false evidence that is introduced or undue reliance on science that isn't quite there yet. my preference is recognize it's already there, but make sure that we have robust discussions about the validity of the science before people buy into it too much. >> yeah, i would just add that i basically agree that it's already

had 5 or 6 people work on that project thus far. the rebuilding of the academy of science in golden gate park. the rebuilding of our public hospital laguna honda this is on going work with the same contract ors that move successful apprentices from one project to another and keep them working for several years. the construction workers of the future to be the superintendents the construction owners. that's the perfect thing there. that's success. c transit take s 88. we are at mount davidson and it has the highest point of elevation in san francisco hitting a whopping 928 feet. mt. davidson provides a peaceful 30-acre owe ace and great hiking trails. the spectacular views offers a perfect place to watch the sunrise or suffer sun set with someone you louvre, wear sturdy shows to conquer the stone trails and denly inventory advantage gives you hikers the sensation of being in a rain forest it's quite a hike to the top here at mount davidson but the view >> the garden contains plants referred to by william shakespeare's plays and poems. located near the academy of sciences, shakespear

are glad you could join us about the science of winning and losing, coming up right now. >> there is a saying that dr. always the right time to do the right thing. i just try to live my life every day by doing the right thing. we know that we are only about halfway to completely eliminate hunger, and we have a lot of work to do. walmart committed $2 billion to fighting hunger in the u.s. as we work together, we can stamp hunger out. >> and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> -- tavis the title pretty much says it all. "top dog: the science of winning and losing." cooperation is always better than competition, that risk is better than assessing risk. they also a lot to say about the way men and women approach competition, how kids are set up to fail as adults by the way they handle stress in school, and a training ground for how to succeed. lots to get to, which i can promise you we will not get to all of that in 30 minutes. it is such a provocative attacks. police now you know what is in it, so you can run out and get it. and ashley

to take over the stem industry. that's the science, technology, engineering and math. she is a scientist at one of the leading biotechnology companies. she is the founder of next gene girls. this was started at the grassroots, an organization commit today empowering young women for under represented communities to see themselves in science by introducing the girls to the wonders and the many -- to wonder of the many different scienceses such as engineering, technology and math professions. this is a visionary woman i set before you and it is a privilege to be able to honor her. but a little bit about who she is. she was born in the most beautiful part of san francisco. she was reared in the most wonderful promising talented part of san francisco. and without any further ado, you guys probably guess it had. that's bayview hunters point. you got to give the lady some credit. so, mom and dad, thank you very much for raising outstanding woman. (applause) >> now, ms. jackson, she understands the roadblocks and challenges many of our young people face when it comes to growing up in a challenge

[ laughter ] >> jon: what does it take to satisfy you? i get it in the right direction and the speed is off! [laughter] damn you and your chronicles of fate. >> all you had to do was reverse the video. what is so hard about that? [laughter] [cheers and applause] i'm just sayin, you know? >> jon: i need make a phonecall. [ laughter ] don't -- wouldn't all the words be reversed. >> well,. >> jon: because they are all attached. we can't separate. you can't do it. it's all attached. >> i don't believe that. >> jon: you a man of science not wizardry, science. >> here is something interesting. >> jon: let me ask you a question. >> sure. >> jon: why are the asteroids tr

shakespeare's plays and poems. located near the academy of sciences, shakespeare's garden was designed in 1928 by the california spring and wild flower association. here is a truly enchanting and tranquil little garden tucked behind the path of a charming rot iron gate with romantic magic. the overarching cherry trees, the gorgeous big walkway and brick wall, the benches, the rustic sun dial. the pack picnic, lovely bench, enjoy the sunshine and soft breeze and let the

unhelpful concept and i think that you have to ask the question from the legal system and from the science perspective as to what free will might mean. on the science side, the question really is, and this is what we were debating, is the question whether you can operationally define free will so you can measure it? from a scientist's standpoint, a construct doesn't really mean anything if you can't measure it. i have been asked many, many newer scientists including ken, what exactly does free will mean and how do you measure it? it could be like emotional control. it could be something like impulsivity, impulse control and you get back to the basic problem that chris who is a colleague of anita's at vanderbilt, wait he has put it, how do you distinguish and irresistible impulse from an impulse not resisted. there is a basic gray area, a difficult ability to say, did you actually choose that and did you choose it in a way that the law would recognize. so the law all of the time develops concepts that scientists are interested in studying. it might be competency, for example. well, competen

they were merely getting older. i want to talk about that science and how we try to apply in use it to helping people in need. first of all, i want to say that there is a special thing about this plasticity as it relates to ourselves. that is to say it is constructed on the basis of moment to moment association of things that go together or the things that are expected to occur in the next moment in time. one thing that always goes with everything we feel, everything we do, every act we have had, every thought is a reference to the actor, to the player, to the doer, and that references to ourself. all of that derives massive plastic self-reference. we have to construct and enrich a strongly center itself, a person, in our brain through its changing itself in a powerful, plastic way. we're also constructed through these same processes to attach to the other people, to the other things we are close to in life. that is the basis of the attachment of the mother to the child or the child to the mother. through millions of the events of contact and interaction, all of those counts in w

water. science correspondent miles o'brien reports on the toxic chemical made famous in the movie, "erin brockovich." its potentially harmful effect on human cells and the agency charged with regulating it. his report is the result of a partnership with the center for public integrity. >> there is some lead chromate in here and some zinc chromate. >> reporter: at the wise laboratory at the university of southern maine, they are very wise indeed about a widely used heavy metal that gives millions of americans, shiny bumpers, vivid paint, and possibly, cancer. it is hexavalent chromium or chromium 6. >> as you can see there's a lot of different colors to chromium, and there are many shades of gray to the story right? yes. >> reporter: chromium 6 was also used as a coolant here at a natural gas pumping station owned by pacific gas and electric in hinkley, california. the utility dumped 26 tons of the chemical into unlined holding ponds in the 1950s and '60s. it leeched into the groundwater, poisoning the wells. the health fallout and the david and goliath legal battle against p.g.&e. became

's engage on the science. let me hear what your arguments are and then let's respond to them. and i would ask in turn that you listen to what the scientific community has to say. it's perfectly fine to have a great conversation with many people about the science itself because the science is so robust at this point. i mean, we have basically known for over 20 years now that, and it actually boils down, for all the complexity of the science it's really quite simple. it's real, okay, climate change is real. it is mostly human caused this time. there have been climate changes over many millions of years in the past that had nothing to do with human beings. this time it's mostly being caused by our activities. third, it's going to be bad. in fact, it's bad now and it's going to get worse. fourth, there's hope, that there are lots of solutions already on the table that are in fact already being implemented in this country, communities all across this country as well as around the world. there's an enormous amount of work that we can do right now with things that we have in hand. and then last

with this amazing and inspiring group of women. thank you so much. i chose to apply my science and policy education towards sustainability. i have worked for more than 15 years in community forestry, conservation based development, water quality science, fixing national environmental programs and now working to harmonize to build a natural [speaker not understood] in san francisco and the bay area. i've been lucky to work with dedicated and really big hearted people. all of whom believe we can and should do more to reduce our ecological footprint and are working to figure out how. through my work today at spur and with friends of the urban forest, we're helping to move the city forward towards a more sustainable future where there are trees and sidewalk gardens everywhere, where we have zero carbon and an imminently [speaker not understood], not just preparing climate change, but doing everything we can to stop it. i have an [speaker not understood] policy science education and social responsibility and to get to do it here in san francisco where most people believe this is the right direction to b

: this box office is for you. why science fiction is big at the movies. first business starts now! you're watching first business: financial news, analysis and today's investment ideas. good morning. it's thursday, march 14th. i'm angela miles. in today's first look: another day, another record. the dow inched its way to yet another record close yesterday. the dow has rallied 9 days in a row, the most since 1996. the nasdaq and s&p also gained, while gold and oil drifted lower. samsung is expected to call up its new galaxy 4 today in a big reveal at new york's radio city music hall. and amazon cuts the price of its largest kindle fire to $269. and 2:00 eastern is the new statement time for the rate announcement coming from the fed. it starts next week. there is the opening bell for our trader talk. todd horwitz of the adam mesh group joins us now. todd, i am wondering, how are we going to know the difference between a pause in the market and a really true pullback? > > first of all, good morning, thanks for having me on. what you are going to see is, right now the market has been l

tjpa as the owner's representative, urs, and i will introduce the science who led that team and acted as the consultant to recommend the design criteria and the dvs led the consulting to the tjpa to make sure that the recommendations coming from urs, were reasonable and prudent. and did not not over or under address, the concerns and the nature of the facility and more appropriate for the nature of the facility. widening the associates and specializes in particular, on structural and blast analysis, and vehicle force protection. they have one in 64 years of experience, in that arena since experience with federal laboratories, courthouses embassies, as well as working on the pentagon and many of the same facilities in the city of new york, where dvs has addressed general security issues. they have focused on blast and force protection on those facilities. also as part of the peer review and consulting team to tjpa is code consultants ink. cci, and they focus particularly on fire protection and fire life safety issues and were extensively involved in the peer review of the bus

women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. >> i want to welcome all of you to this very full house and this wonderful celebration for women's history month to recognize the efforts of women in our great city and county of san francisco. women's history month is a time to appreciate the contributions of our women leaders in our communities who have been courageous in proving the quality of life for all san franciscans. since 1996, the san francisco commission and the department on the status of women ~ has recognized the vital work and contributions of women throughout our community through this program, and i would like to invite dr. emilie morasi who is the executive director of that agency to say a few words about the history of this event. >> thank you very much, president chiu. i am joined today by commissioner kay [speaker not understood]. i'd like to ask her to come on up. she's very familiar with these chambers, having served as clerk for many, many years. and if there are any other commissioners who joined us, please come on up. i have just returned from japan th

the computer science field through /koupcounselor at their school. now, that's problem /ph problematic. no one had told them so it really is educating our high school counselors, or college and career counselors, our career tech education folks on -- these are viable opportunities for our students and we need to present it to them and find places to expose them to this because 75 percent of engineers say they come from families of engineers and so they need that exposure and we want our students to have that exposure. and that was our only topic and again it was deep and it was interesting and we had lots of different perspectives so again, i wanna thank the leadership for bringing this tommic and inviting the special guests to comment on it as well. >> thank you for that report. commissioner wynn from the budget committee. >> thank you. so we met last week. we mostly just talked about -- our deputy superintendent gave us an estimate that they would be recommending or trying /o -- we would be trying to find in our budget the ability to absorb about half to two-thirds of that so that one-and

, though. science and meteorology. let's check in with him. >> a good seven years to get that meteorology degree. let's get a look right now. mid level cloud cover crossing the bay area right now. that helped to increase the onshore flow for most of us. bringing temperatures down, not nearly as hot as it was yesterday. still mild for our standards. gilroy at 76, anti-of course at 75. south san jose at 75 degrees. let's take you live to the sky camera network, on this thursday. can't believe it, it's almost the end of the workweek. can you see the overcast skies in the silicon valley. as we travel up north, right toward the golden gate bridge. if this view doesn't say the bay area, i don't know what does. overcast continues here with fog expected for the morning hours. the cold front is immediately offshore we're tracking. no rainfall from the cold front for us. as we continue to get closer, it's going to break apart, this will again keep some milder weather here in the forecast, at least over the next two days, with high pressure building offshore. if you like the 70s we had for today. do

. is science is settled. it is the future. some in the gop are jumping on that bandwagon. whenever someone tells you the science is settled and the debate is over, that is a sure sign that the debate is not over, but that they are afraid the debate might begin. [applause] they want to tell you it is settled and let's hurry up and make this decision and get on the right side of history. god determines who is on the right side of history. not the mainstream media and not the government. [applause] most of you are here seen the growing states and gobbling up more of the free market and freedom and self. if religious freedom is threatened, it is just the same. these of the twin engines that have made this the greatest country in the history of the world. finally, let me say that when the government kills freedom of religion and faith is pushed out of the public square, not just bad things happen. many good things do not happen. in my book, i tell the story of what happens when a man tracks religion into the public square and let it affect how the government behaves. african slavese were glad w

sure that the army and navy made full use of science when it came. he was frustrated by what he found to be the typical attitude of military commanders. more specifically that the only role of scientists was some new gadget or weapon or gizmo. but war itself, strategies and operations, it was a series of actions at a definite end. the organization of the men who handle them are at least as much scientific problem as their counterparts. what he was arguing for is what would become the generation of operations research. it is a fundamental component of military thinking. something that everyone in the naval academy studies. and every student in business school. then it was revolutionary. military command, and art from experience and judgment and a bridle at the idea. several astonishing insights early on change their mind. the most erratic was a simple but important calculation of the scientists made showing that the tactics were a perfectly sensible approach. navy commander actually had a seemingly reasonable calculation themselves. they knew how much time elapsed between the moment wh

is the co- founder and chief scientific officer of post-it science. he heads the company's goal team that has for more than three decades. he has been a leading pioneer in brain plasticity research. in the late 1980's, he was responsible for inventing something that i hope to own on my own, and in plans to approve my hearing. in 1996, he was the founder and ceo of scientific learning corporation, which markets and distributes software that applies principles of brain plasticity to assist children with language learning in reading. we are plowing -- proud to have him join us today to take part in this forum. [applause] >> thank you. i want to one-upping the mayor and say that today is my 70th birthday. [applause] still alive and raising cain. i also want to say that i am a proud citizen of this city and a public servant at the university of california, in this city for more than 45 years. it is wonderful to be here and wonderful to be with you today. i want to say, before i start, that you should understand that i was permitted by the university of california on a leave of absence fro

near the museum and the california academy of sciences, the garden was designed by the california spring blossom and wildfilower association. here is a truly enchanting and tranquil garden along a path behind a charming gate. this garden is the spot to woo your date. stroll around and appreciate its unique setting. the gorgeous brick walkway and a brick wall, the stone benches, the rustic sundial. chaired the part -- share the bard's word hundred famous verses from a shakespearean plays. this is a gem to share with someone special. pack a picnic, find a bench, and enjoy the sunshine, and let the whimsical words of william shakespeare and floats you and your loved one away. this is one of the most popular wedding locations and is available for reservations. take a bus and have no parking worries. shakespeares' garden is ada accessible. located at the bottom of this hill, it is a secret garden with an infinite in captivating appeal. carefully tucked away, it makes the top of our list for most intimate pyknic setting. avoid all taurus cars and hassles by taking a cable car. or the 30

the study is more about sensationnallism and -- sensationalism than science. >>> the carnival sensation is being brought back in to save the event. now this year's celebration is set for may 25th and 26th, but they are having money problems in fact they are in financial jeopardy and there is talk of canceling the tradition. 400,000 has been given and they need an additional $170,000. the city is now investigating why they are having money problems. >>> we are closer to 6:00 and sal has at least one crash to talk about, sal? >>> that's right we have had a bunch of crashes but right here we have an overturned vehicle and several other cars involved so watch for slowed traffic in that area. also we are looking at the 680 commute heading south and we have wet roads all over the place and we had a lot of fender-benders and it is 5:57 let's go back to the desk. >>> the latest on a big fire, what firefighters found when they got there and why they are having a hard time putting it out. >>> we are talking about a messy problem for bart which is strictly for t

believe in math. here is what i know, which is saying i believe in science. you often hear we are for science. we do not believe in evolution. we are on the side of science. anybody who ignores the obvious point that if you expend more energy than you bring in, you die, whether you are a business, person, or country. the person who ignores that is against science. in the long run, a country that spends more than it raises cannot continue. it is a threat to this country. it is a threat to our economy. common sense confirms it. any belief in science tells me to believe that there is no bigger problem. [bell] >> let me quote the cheney who said ronald reagan taught us deficits do not matter. dick cheney was wrong. he is wrong then and he is wrong now. deficits matter. anyone who supported the bush has no business talking about debt. [booing] i helped bill clinton balanced the budget and built a surplus because we had good economic times. good economic times should pay down the deficit as clinton did but to reagan and bush did not. in bad times you have to stimulate and the airtim

, social studies, science and technical subjects in common course state standards and also to highlight and amplify key language [inaudible] that are critical for el's to succeed in school while they are developing english. tonight you'll hear a little bit about our work to date. so the purpose is also to provide opportunities to en/hreurb learners to access and engage with -- in light of the next generation content standards. it's critical that this be a tool that is deeply understood and used by all teachers. we've been engaged in making this happen with our partners from humanities and math and sciences. so we're gonna talk just briefly about the key shifts in the 2012 california eld standard. so on the left is reflecting the old standards and the right side is really representing that shift in what the new standards are providing with in terms of opportunity for our english learns and how we work with them. and i'll just highlight a couple of each slides. the first one i'm gonna talk about is the use of simply fied text and activities /a*ufpb separate from content knowledge.

is cyber bullying and the top scholars in the country and in social science and psychology that saying that, so that's an important distinction so thank you both so much. >> and there is that and -- there's a balance between -- i mean when i hear that bullying is going down i mean all of us should rejoice because that to me is indicative of the fact of the work in communities across the country are starting to pay off, but it's going to be hard in this ark and we are in this area and people are coming forward, kids are coming forward . suicides that would have been kept forward or not reporting and we're learning thanks to rapid fire and thanks to social networking or facebook and this is a sued -- all of this the -- the volume of bullying is going to rise in proportion with i think the actual drop in occurrences so to balance that and be aware of that i think is important. >>i totally agree, and that's really to rosylyn's point about this being a very, very important moment and we need to did it right. just on the subject of suicide the surgeon general came out this week and there was a

and science. he described this lifetime project in the most ambitious terms. "the deity which invests the science of the painter "functions in such a way that the mind of the painter "is transformed into a copy of the divine mind. "if the painter wishes to see beauties that charm him, "it lies in his power to create them, "and if he wishes to see monstrosities "that are frightful, ridiculous, or truly pitiable, he is lord and god thereof." portrait of the artist as a young man. not literally a portrait, but certainly one in spirit. michelangelo was 27 when he started to carve the figure of david for his home city of florence. he portrayed the confidence of a young conqueror, yet also revealed self-doubt, perhaps the self-doubt of an artist with heroic ambition. if leonardo was ahead of his times, michelangelo was supremely a man of his times. from the very beginning, he found himself at the center of power and influence. the project to create a colossus of marble had been under way since the early 15th century, and the block from which michelangelo's david was quarried was brought dow

methodology from science and technology who award the safety act certification and we used it to the letter so that everything that have recommended in here will hopefully will meet and i am only saying hopefully that it is at one percent and but we have used it to addressed security elements and survivebility elements everything that one would need to achieve that designation, and so we have kind of met the letter of law at this point in time. were there any other questions on the safety act that i have not touched on that you want to here about? >> i guess that there isn't a set criteria of what would grant us a certification by dhs, that we as a board could look at. in relationship to what is being proposed to the board. >> it is a checklist. it is almost a checklist that you use. >> there is a checklist. >> it is like this, but it is not a checklist, let me see how this goes. >> you have a methodology that dhs wants you to use and we used that. supporting that is a checklist like this, where you go through and you figure out what all of the threats are, all of the vunerbilities and the mit

. and they will be shuttled through a single lane. it's not rocket science to imagine if you have x amount of traffic to two lanes, and now restrict to one lane. even if it's only that single choke point and opens to two lanes after that. that won't have any effect on traffic flow is ridiculous. just -- and another block down. all you have to do is go on a sunday and see that people are parked on both sides of the intermedian on dolores street. and traffic is reduce to practically a stand-still. that's what is going to happen here. cars will back up to bose street. and the dedicated left-turn lane holds six to seven cars. the simulation that we saw there were no cars in the left-turn lane. it's completely unrealistic. and that's the way today, with the new developments and the new units to imagine it's not the way it is today. it will be far worse. i would urge you to adopt the original plan, which i will project now. this is the original plan, it's not easy to see. but basically it's 8-foot bulb outs from the corner of dolores and all way down. and two legitimate lanes in both directions. that's a far more

to life even after we made great progress in medical science. but in the end, broke my grand mother's heart was her 2 daughters could not come for their brother's funeral. when it explained to her that my aunts who lived in india and pack tan were considered enemy aliens we looked at us as we were inmates. we are brothers and sisters all of them are my children and went to grieve in the privacy of her prayers. we were quiet for sometime, both of us try to break away from the sounds of bombs and the sounds of grieve that accompany the tearing apart of people. 1 from the other. amy broke our silence. what do you mean pieces of your doll. i had 3 dolls all 3 were shanty. all 3 dolls were made of brittle plastic like material we called cutcha caw. they were hollow the different parts of their bodies were hooked with rubber bands. whatever held those 3 parts together they always broke within a few weeks and the dolls continued to exist in their separate components. i suspect my male cousin was the deconductor of the dolls. the grownups promised to reconstruct them but didn't have the tim

of their brain off. from your intuitions as a composer, science is a step behind art, but we were able to find that. just from a player's standpoint, as you develop your skills over time, maybe studied in school, self-pop, but you build up certain skills. when it comes time to improvise or sit down and start to work out something musical, sometimes you have to forget all that stuff. push it out of your mind. it is a handy tool to be able to bring back and say, what am i doing here? i am and 3/4 time, 12 measures of this, and then it is going to go to a bridge or a second measure or something. >> to clarify one point you were talking about, using alternate to earnings -- for those who got not know, there is a standard way of turning the guitar. there are people like alex and david crosby, and joni mitchell, who tune differently to spur creativity or just to play around. there is a great sense of play in that. most of your pieces are in non- standard to make. among those, there are even some standard ones and you do not use those. >> you bring up an interesting point. a lot of times, musicians u

are three key ethical -- the first one is this. i do not think that there is any legitimate basis in science, medicine, or any ethical code that i know of or the bible, for that matter for our criminal law tdistinguishing between those wo have alcohol and tobacco and people who put other substances in their body. there is no legitimate basis for distinguishing between the alcoholic on the one hand under criminal law and between the drug addict on the other. that is first. the second ethical point is i hope most of you agree with this. i do not believe that anybody should be punished simply for what we put into our own bodies absent harm to others. nobody deserves to be punished for what we put in our bodies absent harm to others. hurt somebody, yes and not tell me your addiction was the excuse. we need to be regarded as sovereign over our minds and bodies. the criminal law should not be treating anyone as a criminal for what we put in here. when one is trying to pursue a particular public health or public safety objective, reducing the harm of drugs or whatever it might be. and when you have

-old in particular, lilly, she's been secularized - she's getting a lot of science and a lot of math, and the world, you can watch it becoming secularized for her. at the same time, there's this magical little childlike part of her that wants to retain the magic. we talked about science in the other class, and science is such an important world-view and now, what, maybe 500 years old, depending on who's counting. but it's a very different way of seeing the world. the whole function is to explain physical phenomenon, and sometimes in explaining, you reduce things. it scares me about being an academic - that we spend 15 weeks trying to explain religion, and god forbid - i guess we can say god in religion class - god forbid that it reduces religion to something we can just put on the shelf. if anything, i'd like to see it awake a certain sense of magic so that people continue on the journey. but that's neat. i think you did a good job with those candle - i'll have to remember that one. yeah, janet? >> i wanted to make a comment about her story about unity, because in our native american class, tom, i

's national laboratories. it was titled, the sequester is going to devastate u.s. science research for decades. they said this drop in funding will force to us cancel all new programs and research initiatives, probably for at least two years. is that going to put a damper on our future prospects? >> if the sequester holds in its current form for the ten years that it is supposed to, then yes, the answer is there will definitely be horrible consequences. i think before we go to the bad news, you need to give a little context. the good news is that america has been investing in research and development. it has been investing in science and technology at a very high rate. in 2009, thanks partly to the stimulus, the u.s. investment matched the previous high at the space race at 2.9 of gdp. that amount of money being poured into public and private research. so we've come down a little because of the budget cuts already put in place and we've come down much more because of the sequester. that speaks exactly to what i was argue ewing in my special report. the federal government tends to either not re

two? [laughter] there be. there be. they're called engineers in science types, in physics types. in fact, they're us types, aren't they? what's the wavelength, gang? let's go. watch this, one, one, two, two, three, three, four, four, five, five, now it's 3/14. okay. so wavelength equals 3/14 of a what? - kilometer. - kilometer. okay? that's like 3,000 meters divided by 14. why did you pick a four, man? i mean--how many times does 14 go into 3,000? does anyone have a calculator? 214.28571. 214 meters long. is that surprising to you? that's like two football fields and then some. so the wavelength of your favorite radio station is more than two football fields long. radio waves are long or short compared to light waves, gang? we'll do the same thing for light waves later on and find out it's a smidge, smidge, smidge, smidge, smidge. zero's go the other way. yey. anyway, that's how you find the wavelength of something. i can show you the slinky here. can someone grab the end of this for an "a" in the course.

tech trek i was able to have a push to pursue my interest in science and math. without that push i probably wouldn't have gone to lowel. so my favorite aspect about it is getting around all these other females that are just as motivated about the topics as you. tech trek will get you there. may tech trek motivate and inspire young women across the nation forever more. >> thank you commissioners. now, it is my very great pleasure to call upon the superintendent for our next item. >> thank you president norton. this is always one of my favorite items in our board meetings where we get to talk about our national board certified teachers. it seems like every year we get to add more and more teachers to this illustrious list. if i can just describe a little bit about this board. we're honored this evening to honor or nationally board certify teachers. this is an advanced teaching credential. it is achieved upon successful completion of a voluntary assessment program designed to recognize teachers who meet high standards. our candidates complete ten assignments that include four

regular presidential historian and marc hetherington, a political science professor at vanderbilt university and the author of two books on polarization and trust in u.s. politics. welcome to you both. so we just heard some republicans, michael beschloss, questioning whether the president is sincere in this and we know separately that a senior official at the white house was telling a reporter that they thought that he put that the outreach was just joke because they didn't expect it to produce results. so the first question i want to get out of the way with both of you is has it made a difference historically whether presidents, political leaders, were sincere in an effort? >> oh, certainly. and they're usually sincere, particularly eager to be conciliatory when there's one or both houses of congress in the hands of the other party as is the case now but the last 25 years or so have been different in american history in the intensity of the combat between the two parties and the aversion to compromise and i think you're seeing is the suspicion of the opposite party. look what hap

golden age this span of the 17th century where trade, industry and science were among the world. the one small port of amsterdam were one of the commercial centers in the entire world. this concentration of capital enriched bankers and merchants but also created the society in europe. the arch of the dutch golden age. 17th century travelers visiting holland remarked on the number of artist. typically western european artist on the monarch and the nobility as well as the very wealthie catholic church. an open market to a wide clientele that arranged from variety of merchants. it displays a modern domestic rather than extravagant or royal setting which it was carried. emily who is the director of the morris house. the expansion which i will talk about in an a little bit will give it more space. for the collection there is a limited pictures they can acquire but too large for the building. so where do the paintings come from? how can they be there. this is an exceptional and remarkable museum. this splendid 17th century city palace was constructed between 1633-1634 next to the dutch gove

. fred and i earnest profession economist that somebody 200 years ago dubbed its abysmal science. it's all this naysaying and nothing good is going to come. the engineering evidence on the benefits of energy efficiencies, again i have this all coming out in one of the things i said in this other book is a lot of what i just read is studying the national academy of sciences called real prospects for energy efficiencies. it's not the heterodox economists talking. this is national academy of sciences calling together all the best engineering research and basically what i told you about that benefit to efficiencies are linked to the national academy of sciences. on the other hand you have the economist who say that's engineering. engineers don't know how economics really work and the main argument from the orthodox economists is that people don't want to do this. there is risk, yeah there is risk in there is hassle. if you have a commercial building you have to let these people in and they have to do their thing. who knows, they could be thieves and therefore there is an article in one o

that graffiti abatement is a combination of science and alchemy. because every time you get to a place, a small percentage you find pigments that's like from another world almost. but just to finalize, and i understand what larry was answering. it makes sense that you cannot hold property owners liable to graffiti ghosting. but is this a point of policy that maybe could look forward? other municipalities, that whenever there is ghosting, you actually encouraging more vandalism because that is an etch that is going to stay -- my grandchildren might still see it. so, what i'm saying is i think dpw does a great job on giving referrals on contractors, by the way, and a wealth of information about products. but the bottom line is that property owner is only going to spend so much money over and over and over and get to a point that it's just too much money. so, ghosting i think to me is dear to my heart because of this. if it stays there it's going to attract more vandalism. >> great point, thank you. jan, do you want to read another question? >> yes, this is in regards to abatement and it's somethi
